Interesting subject for a dissertation podcasts and educational use in higher education. Any chance that I can read your findings? I want to write about the subject too. Thanks.

I like your metaphor for the life-cycle of podcasting.

Podcasting is the audio byproduct of technology evolution. I think it's obvious to anyone by now that audio on the web is here to stay. When, in 2001, I put my 5-minute radio show on the internet for anyone to listen to it at anytime, I didn't know it will be called podcasting. But I knew for sure this is the future.

If podcasting would be radio, we're still in the AM years. Or around peck #5,000 -)

I totally agree with this idea. People seem to forget that blogs were not an instant success. Only in the past couple years are we seeing a person make a living off of blogging, many years after blogging started. It will be the same for podcasts maybe just a bit quicker with the adoption of internet.

Thanks Christopher.

Your statement "We ... are too quick to give up on anyone who’s not an instant early adopter, and as such are leaving people - and money - behind in our mad, attention-deficit rush for instant gratification, instant results, instant fame." is SO true.

I am and will stay a podcast believer :-)

Great observations! I am finishing a dissertation on educational podcasting in higher education. I am writing my closing statements on the future of podcasting & will quote and cite your blog comments. Thank you for helping me through a momentary mental block.
